We will make these pledges public so voters can easily see which candidates in their riding support environmental rights. We will draw on these pledges to get environmental rights commitments in party platforms.

On Saturday, October 20, Blue Dot volunteers from White Rock, B.C. to St. John’s, Newfoundland are holding events to raise awareness and begin mobilizing for this campaign, exactly one year out from the 2019 election.

To extend our reach, we need pledge leaders to organize local efforts in every riding, and volunteers to help them carry this out. Over the past four years, Blue Dot volunteers have managed to get environmental rights declarations passed in 172 municipalities representing nearly half of Canada’s population, so we have every reason to believe we can do this!
